Just had it done again today and was sitting at 45 or 6.3%.
Stayed exactly the same since February 2015. Probably won't have it done for another 6 or so months so will see if I can make some more improvements before then.

Diagnosis 3 weeks ago was 115, hoping to make a big dent in that number by the time I'm tested again in September.

8.1% today since I came off the pump and back on to MDI just six weeks ago, so about half the 90 day period that Hba1c measures. Down from a high of 11-12% on the pump that I just couldn't break. I thought I was never going to get my HBA1c to go down, or stop rising, it's been rising for years despite everything. After a full 90 days it should be even lower.

mine is 14+ or 130+ in the new numbers. The highest on the scale! I can't face life at the moment:(

To be honest I just find it really hard to control it :( I can't control my sugars at all and I find it really hard to inject because I am petrified of needles

Oh no you poor thing, I really feel for you. I will tag @daisy1 to post you some great information to read through. I am only a Type 2 but Im sure there will be some Type 1's who will be able to give you some advice in regard to injecting.

The hassle and ignorance of diabetes.

Holy smokes Spiker - sorry to hear that.

Have they tried you on anything like metformin, just in case you've developed a touch of T2 as well?
